The NCA preconference seminar on Media & Class in the 21st Century will bring together scholars from many communication subfields working at the intersection of media and class, with specific focus on how understandings of class are changing in contemporary media contexts. This preconference will engage the conference theme, Communication’s Civic Callings, deepening the theme’s relationship to issues of economic disparities and considering the role of media in relation to issues of economic justice. This daylong seminar will consist of two plenary sessions, brief presentations of position papers by participants, small group interactions and an interactive lunch that encourages scholars to meet others who share their interests.
